The city of Fargo is the crossroads of Interstate 29 and Interstate 94, making it the economic center of a large portion of eastern North Dakota and a portion of northwestern Minnesota. The population of North Dakota can be accurately "split" by these two highways.

Fargo's motto is "Gateway to the West". Fargo was founded in 1871.
